I'm Feeling A Bit Creative!

I know, crazy, that this is my second post today but I am feeling a bit creative today! I was reading my friend Jill's blog and she had a link to another blog(cause you do know I am a blog stalker!)and I found this super cute blog. You can go to theadventuresofroryandjess.blogspot.com. Her blog is called Craftiness in not Optional. It is a very cute blog and if I knew the correct way to link her blog to mine I would totally do that, but I'm not that good yet! So, if you want to check it out you will just have to type in her blog address! So this is one thing that I found(out of many cute things)that I thought I wanted to try. She calls it The Ruffly Heart Shirt. She has a whole tutorial about how to make it and she gives you step by step instructions. It really is great. So, this is how mine turned out. I think pretty good for my first time! Now I just have to talk Macey into wearing it to church tomorrow with her little jean skirt, and her new hair clips(from the post below)! I can't wait!

I love it and can't wait to make more! Don't be surprised to see more of these! You know I do have 4 girls and wouldn't that be cute to have matching Valentine shirts! Oh, I can just see it now!

My New Favorite Things....

So, these are my new favorite things, except for my family of course! Having 4 girls makes me a bow lover, just because! But, I think even if I didn't have girls I would be in love with these hair clips! Last night my friend Jill asked if I wanted to come over to her house to make hair clips after our kids went to bed. We made these hair clips and just visited with each other until midnight! What is funny about that is we had no idea it was that late! Time sure does fly by when you are having fun! Thanks so much Jill for inviting me over, I really had such a great time! Here are a few up close pictures of just some of the hair clips that we made.

They were so super easy, I was surprised at how fast they went. These types of hair clips are so much easier then the bows where you cook the ribbon,cut the ribbon and then glue the ribbon to the clip! Although I do love those bows too! The frame where I hung the hair clips is an old frame that I glued 3 rows of ribbon down the frame and then just clipped the hair clips to the ribbon. I think it turned out pretty cute! It was a great way to end a good day!

My Sweet Girls

So I just figured out how to do this with my picures! I hope you all enjoy! I only can do this sort of collage, I havn't figured out how to do any other kind. Any suggestions?

Too Cute Not To Post!

So the other day this is what Molly REALLY wanted to wear. We were staying home that day so I didn't mind! Rodger saw her and told me I HAD to take a picture and post it on my blog, so here it is! She might hate me when she gets older and I'm ok with that! It's just too cute NOT to post!

Guess What I Did Today?

I cleaned out my closets(and front porch and laundry room)! Fun, fun! I don't stuff my closets when I clean, instead I just ignore them. I'd like to think it's my kids that shove things in the closets when I ask them to clean! Well, however they got so unorganized I thought today would be a great day to clean them up! So enjoy my before and after pictures! BEFORE

OK, so it's not perfect but it is way better than it was! So, I will take it! It does make me happy to be organized, even if it is just in my closets(and front porch and laundry room)! Hopefully I will keep this up and clean the rest of my house tomorrow!

Snow Falling = Happy Children

Ok, so I am only a few weeks late, but look what we got! SNOW! I know, I know, I am sooo lucky! I love to see my children's faces when they get to play in the snow, it's kinda like Christmas morning. They get so excited and have so much fun together.
Abby was so excited to get out there and play in the snow. When it first started snowing Rodger and I were at a movie and the girls were at a friends house. We got a text from our friends who were watching our kids to please bring over snow clothes when we got home. WHAT? It is snowing right now? When we went into the theater I hadn't even heard of snow in the forecast! We were not expecting snow at all, so during the movie we both went out and looked to see if it was really there. It was falling so much! The movie we saw was Avatar, which is a good movie, but way too long when all you want to do is leave so you can go play with your kids in the snow. The movie could not get over quick enough!

Macey, Kamryn and Sophia playing in the Snow!

Sweet Molly enjoying her first time in the Snow. She loved being out there! She is such a trooper, Molly would live outside if she could. She LOVES being outside, even when its cold!

I thought I would add this picture. Rodger's sister Pam sent the girls some winter accessories and I thought I would share! It kinda goes with my SNOW post and I think my girls look so cute!

Someone Had A Birthday!

My sweet Molly turned 2 yesterday! I was going to blog about it last night, but I fell asleep too early. So, a day late isn't so bad! Wow, I can't even believe she is already 2. The last 2 years have gone by so fast! She is still my baby though, even though I can feel the terrible 2's creeping upon us! She has been talking so much lately, she really wants us to understand her. If we can't understand what she is saying she will grab your hand and show you what she wants you to see! She gets along so well with her sisters, they sure do treat her like the baby of the family! I am so happy that my girls have each other. I tell them when they fight "You better be nice to each other because you have each other forever! You can never get rid of your sisters!" They love that one!

Here is Molly this morning before church. I didn't know what to get her for her birthday, since it is 1 day after Christmas, and she is into pretty dresses, so I got her this dress. I went to the store on the 26th and found this $45.00 dress for $15.00! I couldn't pass it up! I also got it in a size 4 so she can wear it for a while. She LOVED it and felt like a princess in it! I ask her all the time if she is my princess and she always says "Uh Huh"(Yes!).

Probably from watching her sisters blow out the candles on their cakes from past birthdays, Molly knew just what to do when it came time to blow out her candles! Rodger and I were both pretty surprised by it! She did such a good job!

She also knew that underneath the pretty wrapping paper were probably some really great toys, so she just ripped right into her presents! I guess I never realized how much she watches us and how much she knows! It also probably helped that Christmas was the day before and she had plenty of practice then!

Here Molly is with a blanket that her Aunt Kathy and Uncle Jeff made her. I'm not sure why but she LOVES blankets, which she calls "GG's". It's pretty cute. She also likes to be wrapped in them a specific way. She is pretty particular about her "GG's" and she loved this one and slept with it last night! How lucky I am to know my sweet Molly, as well as my other girls! Sooo, Happy Birthday Molly! I LOVE You!

To My Sweet Molly Girl,

Happy 2nd Birthday sweetheart! I am so glad that you chose me to be your mom. You make me happy everyday with your sweet smile and personality. Even though you are my 4th girl, and I had hoped that someday I would have a son, I would never trade you for anything! I am lucky to know you and I feel like you are here for a purpose and that you have some GREAT things to do here! When Dad and I found out that we were having another girl, we were soo happy! You have seriously been a ray of sunshine in my life. My hope for you is to have a long happy life, chasing your dreams and being the amazing person I know that you are! I love you! Happy Birthday!

Love, Mom
